Chinese researchers have discovered a gene that allows plants to thrive in saline soil, and they use this finding to create modified sorghum and rice plants that increase yields by at least 20% and produce more nutrients. [more…]
Following a change in legislation, commercially produced genetically modified foods can now be produced in the UK. Advocates of the technology claim it will accelerate the creation of more resilient crops that will be needed as a result of climate change. according to critics [more…]
NASA is actively monitoring a strange anomaly in the Earth's magnetic field: we're talking about a huge region of low magnetic intensity in the sky above the planet that stretches between South America and southwest Africa. South Atlantic Anomaly [more…]
Farm waste and other natural products can help the automotive and other industries be more environmentally friendly and less harmful. Lemon peel, cornstarch and almond peel are used in the automotive or construction industries. [more…]
A large hydroelectric dam or wind farm is perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about using water or wind to generate electricity. But consider a smaller scale. Italian researchers into plants [more…]
The new sorbents have three times the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the air than existing ones. The sorbent also converts carbon dioxide into sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, which can be safely retained in the oceans when exposed to seawater. International [more…]
A study led by scientists at ETH Zurich reveals for the first time how wind turbine locations will change if spatial planning regulations in Switzerland are relaxed. As little as possible in the Alps and throughout Switzerland [more…]
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography project, led by NASA and the French space agency CNES, will provide high-resolution data on fresh and salt water on Earth's surface. NASA and NASA on Friday at 03:46 [more…]
It has long been known that a strain of tuberculosis bacteria can generate electricity from hydrogen in the air. Scientists have now figured out how to do this. Researchers studying a relative of the bacterium that causes leprosy and tuberculosis have turned hydrogen into electricity. [more…]
Coal is not only an important fuel for electricity generation in the Rhine region. The chemical industry also uses coal to produce vital essential compounds. However, when coal is removed from use, these materials [more…]
The investigation team aims to determine why some structures survived while others collapsed. British structural and civil engineers are on hand to help investigate the damage caused by the severe earthquake that struck last month. [more…]
Twelve years after the triple reactor meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Japan is preparing to dump massive amounts of cleaned radioactive waste into the ocean. According to Japanese officials, this evacuation is inevitable and should begin soon. Decommissioning of the power plant [more…]
On the slopes of a spring-fed lake in the Wasatch Mountains in the western United States lives a single gigantic organism that sustains an entire ecosystem on which plants and animals have depended for thousands of years. “Pando” 106 to be found in Utah [more…]
A pilot study calculated carbon dioxide emissions and removals in various countries using satellite observations. The researchers tracked the carbon dioxide emissions of more than 100 countries around the world with the help of an Earth-observing satellite from NASA. Pilot [more…]
One in three people in almost every country on the planet does not have access to adequate nutritious food. 821 million people worldwide do not consume enough calories to prevent chronic hunger. Because healthy growth [more…]
A NASA-funded robot called Icefin has revealed an unprecedented earth change. According to a study published March 2 in the journal Nature, where Antarctica meets the Ross Ice Shelf in the west. [more…]
After the feasibility assessment was completed, Rössing Uranium Ltd. The board of directors approved the extension of the mine's operational life to 2036. “The Board of Directors approved the extended mine life from 2026 to 2036 and the proposed operating model on February 22. [more…]
The term “rare earth elements” (REEs) refers to a family of 0,5 chemically related metals that are normally found in very small amounts (between 67 and 17 parts per million) in the earth's crust. light emitting [more…]
Rama Govindarajan provides insights into understanding the impact of these undulating masses on climate by modeling how turbulence affects the growth of droplets in clouds. Rama Govindarajan imagined clouds in which water droplets swirled and remained [more…]
The creation of electrochemical energy storage devices is one of the most researched areas of materials science on a global scale. The need for high-performance batteries for a variety of applications is growing rapidly, resulting in potential charging capacities. [more…]
Candela USA CEO and French sailor Tanguy de Lamotte drives the company's "flying" electric C-8 boat on February 2023, 8, in Sausalito, California. At first he was just a casual sailor traveling in San Francisco Bay. [more…]
A longstanding debate about how tectonic plates move may finally be resolved, thanks to scientists' discovery of a new layer of partially molten rock beneath the earth's crust. Earlier researchers [more…]
SpaceX's Starlink has proven reliable in the past to reassemble homes destroyed by natural disasters. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said "serious communication difficulties" caused by the early morning earthquake on Monday [more…]
Computer-generated communities, known as synthetic populations, are intended to resemble real populations. They are created using statistical algorithms and information from the census regarding people's characteristics such as age, gender, and occupation. [more…]
We have built magnificent cities and structures throughout history, but they have been destroyed by natural forces. One of the most damaging natural phenomena on earth sends seismic waves causing buildings to collapse, people to die and [more…]
Before an Earthquake: What to Do A fire extinguisher, first aid kit, battery-operated radio, flashlight, and extra batteries should always be on hand. Discover first aid. Electricity, gas and water [more…]
The development of new lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes has been slow due to strange short circuits and malfunctions. These batteries are light, flammable, have a large energy capacity and are extremely fast. [more…]
West of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, atop a submarine mountain, an uneven view of towers emerges from the darkness. A remote-controlled vehicle sent on the expedition painted a ghostly blue tint to the creamy carbonate walls and pillars. [more…]
A test carried out amid intense storms on a mountaintop in Switzerland claims scientists have directed lightning with lasers for the first time in the real world. This achievement has been used in airports, launch pads and high-rise buildings. [more…]
On December 11, 2022, the NASA Aqua satellite's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer captured the image shown above (MODIS). The image shows a section of the Antarctic Peninsula about 1.000 kilometers (600 miles) long. It's icy and [more…]
